suddenly appeared in the ocean. Their immense attraction frantically pulled at the skeleton, causing the old man's heart to race with panic. He could only hold onto the skeleton beneath him tightly,...Although a piece of flesh had been cut from the man's hand, blood streaming freely, he seemed to feel no pain. He sat there like a statue, motionless.
Not until the door was pushed open and a plain-dressed middle-aged woman walked in from outside did he see her. Upon seeing the man's appearance, she immediately changed color and rushed to his side, tearing off a piece of her clothing to bandage his wound while anxiously asking, "Qiuyang, what happened to you"
Of course, this couple is Ginger Cloud's parents, Ginger Autumn Sun and Seal Wuyan.
Hearing his wife's voice, Jiang Qiuyang finally came to his senses. He looked up at his wife and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "It's about to begin!"
These four simple words caused Feng Wu Yan's body to tremble slightly, and the movements in her hands came to a halt.
After a moment, Feng Wuyan only softly said: "They, could they really find Yun'er"
Jiang Qiuyang nodded silently and said, "Whoever the Jiang family wants to find, they will never fail to find."
Moreover, Yun'er is a descendant of the Ginger family, with their blood flowing through her veins. It's impossible for the Ginger family to not be able to find her.
After another moment of silence, Feng Wu Yan spoke again: "Perhaps, we should release that person over there!"
Jiang Qiuyang reached out and patted Feng Wuyan's hand, saying: "Perhaps Yun'er already has the ability to protect herself."
And, just wait a little while longer!
——
Under Leng Yichen's request, Jiang Yun completed the transfer today. He took all his guards to District 33.
Although he was aware that the Nine-Three District had members of the Tribe of Waste, Ginger Cloud did not go there considering Cold Yichen's reminder and the possibility of Emperor Xing coming in these few days.
Instead, after handing everything over to Lin Ruigang, he once again became a hands-off boss. With one hundred million military merits in hand, he swaggered towards the Sky Piercing Tower.
Along the way, every guard encountered would bow respectfully to Jiang Yun upon seeing him.
The result of the gamble between Jiang Yun and Meng Yue, naturally, became known to everyone in Tianwai Tian.
Jiang Yun's mastery of formations, as well as his ability to simultaneously control over three thousand people with one mind, left everyone stunned.
And Lin Ruiguang's arrangement of the gambling game was also exposed.
The news that Ginger Cloud had won two billion military merits in a gamble spread like wildfire.
Besides, all the guards under his command were also tirelessly spreading and boasting about how Jiang Yun generously distributed the lion's share of the military merit won to himself and his men.
In conclusion, all of these factors have caused Jiang Yun's current fame in Tianwai Tian to far surpass Leng Yichen.
In the hearts of many guards, he was no longer just the Tenth Heavenly General, but someone worthy of competing with Yan Tian for the position of Heavenly General Number One!
Even, many guards secretly discussed whether there was any way to be assigned under Jiang Yun's command.
Therefore, now that everyone sees Ginger Cloud, they are truly both respectful and afraid of him, yet also want to flatter and curry favor with him.
Ginger Cloud was also in high spirits, politely greeting each guard as she made her way to the hall leading to the Sky-Piercing Tower.
Here, as always, Lao Jia and Xiao Liu sat cross-legged before the teleportation array. Nearly a hundred guards waited in line for an empty room inside the Heavenly Tower.
The arrival of Jiangyun, naturally, caused another small commotion.
Little Six also opened his eyes, a smile on his face, and politely addressed Jiang Yun: "General Fan!"
But Old Jia simply closed his eyes, as if he hadn't noticed Jiang Yun's arrival at all.
Ginger Yun smiled and nodded at Xiao Liu, saying loudly, "Xiao Liu, I'm here to repay my debt this time!"
"Last time, I owed Tongtian Pavilion how many military merits!"
Xiaoliu chuckled and replied, "100,000 military exploits!"
Jiang Yun casually threw his token to Xiao Liu: "Only 100,000 Take it and draw it."
Besides, I've been free lately and plan to spend some more time cultivating at Tongtian Pavilion.
"Five floors, there should still be some empty rooms!"
Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Of course there is. I wonder how long Fan Pian will take to cultivate this time"
Jiang Yun pretended to think for a moment and said, "Let's start with ten million military merits!"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, a chorus of envy arose from the many guards surrounding them.
Ten million military merits, that's almost three years of time. It's also a sum these guards would probably never earn in their entire lifetimes.
However, before Xiao Liu could even speak, another voice had already chimed in.
"Fan Xiao, although you have enough military merit now, ten million is nothing to you. But as a general, how can you spend every day in this Tongtian Pavilion!"
Remember, coming to the celestial realm is for guarding this place, not for you to cultivate here.
Hearing this voice, Ginger Cloud didn't even need to look to know it was Yan Tianqi!
This time, even Yan Tianqi lost ten million military merits in the gambling game.
But, Yan Tianqi had always been thinking about killing himself.
Now that I've run into him here, that's why he deliberately opened his mouth and made things difficult for me.
As expected, behind the crowd, Yan Tianqi's figure appeared.
And Ginger Cloud smiled and cupped his fist toward Yan Tianqi, saying: "I thought who was eating too much and meddling in other people's business, it turned out to be Yan Tianjiang!"
"As a guardian of the heavens above, our duty is to protect it. Everything in nature must prioritize safeguarding the heavenly realm!"
"But, how did Yan Tian hear me say I was going to complete all ten million military merits within the Tongtian Pavilion in one breath"
"I just have too many military achievements. I'm worried about keeping them on me because what if some people are envious and secretly attack me to steal my accomplishments, or even kill me Then wouldn't I be at a loss"
"So, I just put ten million military exploits here in the Tiantong Pavilion. It's both safe and saves me the trouble of coming here every time."
Jiang Yun's words made the guards around him shudder.
Because Gingercloud was clearly implying that Yan Tianqi might secretly try to kill him!
Yan Tianqi's face immediately sank, and he shouted angrily: "Fan Xiao, shut your mouth!"
It is common knowledge that, from the celestial marshal to the ordinary guards, everyone in Heaven Beyond Heaven has their military exploits recorded.
"How could anyone kill you just to steal your military honors!"
Moreover, all the guards in our Heavenly Layer have always been united and never engaged in any infighting.
"Fan Xiao, you only got your military achievements through underhanded tactics that wouldn't hold up in court. Now, you're casting aspersions on your comrades and insinuating they want to kill you."
"What are your intentions"
Jiang Yun, looking at Yan Tianqi who was speaking with righteous indignation at this moment, still smiled and said: "Yan Sir, may I ask, what does it mean to have no face to appear on stage"
"Well, I don't know. Do you have the guts to bet with me"
I bet my 3,000 brothers could defeat all 10,000 guards in the Nine Heavens, including the elders!
Jiang Yun pointed at Xiao Liu's hand with his own token and said, "Although the military merit obtained by robbery cannot be used, if you win the military merit in a gambling match, it can be used!"
Hearing that Jiang Yun had challenged Yan Tianqi again, everyone was dumbfounded.
But Yan Tianqi just gave a cold smile and said, "Fan Pianjiang, the art of using taunts to provoke your opponent, doesn't work on me."
Although I dislike your underhanded tactics, I have to admit that your strategy is incredibly clever. Even I don't stand a chance against it.
Even knowing I'm bound to lose, why should I gamble with you!
Furthermore, I bear you no ill will. After all, I am a celestial being, and you can be considered one of my subordinates. I simply hope that you will not always think of crooked ways and stray from the right path in the future.
Since you don't appreciate it, I'll just pretend I didn't say anything.
He shook his head and Yan Tianqi actually turned around and left.
His words, however, filled the guards with respect.
Indeed, Yan Tianqi didn't say anything too harsh to Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun was indeed sarcastically implying things.
Naturally, Ginger Cloud's originally towering figure shrank considerably in their eyes.
Little Liu, as instructed, drew out the merit award of ten million army achievements and returned the token to Jiang Yun.
Ginger Cloud wasted no more time, stepping into the teleportation array.
Meanwhile, Yan Tianqi, who had already left the Military Armaments Hall, wore a gloomy expression and said to Fan Xiao: "Fan Xiao, since you like staying in the Heavenly Tower so much, then I'll fulfill your wish and make it your burial ground!"e spoke in a loud voice: "Hunter Demon, I know you can hear my voice. Now I have important business to attend to and must leave this place."But remember what I told you, if something happens to the li...
